WEBVTT

00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:11.200
okay so today's unboxing is actually going to be captured with the Microsoft

00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:13.320
lifecam uh HD 5000 and uh I'm going to

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:19.199
be unboxing the Arctic cooling freezer extreme revision 2 and uh so yeah this

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:23.160
is meant to be two things an unboxing of this particular heat sink as well as an

00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:26.960
example of what kind of video quality you can expect from the Microsoft

00:00:24.840 --> 00:00:30.560
lifecam that I unboxed a little while ago so you can see it is pretty clear

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:35.480
and we're going to see how well it does with the close-ups because the lighting

00:00:32.239 --> 00:00:37.120
a isn't great in my office and B I have

00:00:35.480 --> 00:00:42.559
these screens behind me which makes it really difficult for even a good camera

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:45.200
to focus and uh and get good focusing

00:00:42.559 --> 00:00:48.520
image quality okay so let's unbox this heat sink this is the freezer extreme

00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:52.520
rev 2 it's like the freezer extreme except or Vision 2 it has excellent

00:00:50.680 --> 00:00:57.920
compatibility so it supports pretty much everything out there 1366 1156 775 so

00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:03.399
that's all the Intel sockets at the moment and then support for am3 am2 plus

00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:08.640
and am2 which are all the same as well as 939 it still includes support for

00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:12.720
socket 939 which is pretty ancient at this point all right so we got unmatched

00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:15.960
cooling performance as a feature unique twin tower it's not so unique anymore

00:01:14.479 --> 00:01:20.119
lots of coolers are using the Twin Towers effective heat dissipation via

00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:23.600
eight heat pipes that's pretty good patented fan holders eliminate buzzing

00:01:22.119 --> 00:01:29.479
sounds voltage regulators and Northbridge cooling uh oh yeah we can talk about

00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:34.159
that in a minute okay pre-applied MX2 so it comes with a very high quality

00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:36.759
pre-applied thermal compound that's huge because you can get the best cooler in

00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:41.840
the world if it comes with crappy thermal compound you're going to get crappy performance all right next we

00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:49.240
have they only compare it against the stock cooler so cooling performance as

00:01:44.360 --> 00:01:50.920
well as um noise okay they give you some

00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:56.280
Dimensions here so the fan runs it anywhere from 800 to 1500 RPM and it is

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.880
a pwm fan and I think that's pretty much

00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:02.920
all I want to say about the outside of the package so why don't we get this

00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:04.640
thing opened up and have a look see so

00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:09.119
the first thing we find inside is a piece of paper and that piece of paper

00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:13.160
has some writing on it in a couple different

00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:16.599
languages okay so let's go to English because that's what I speak okay step

00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:20.519
one remove the fan press the fan shoulders to unlock the fan and lift the

00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:27.160
fan upwards step to so we've got six steps on this side and then seven steps

00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:32.400
for Intel and then five steps for AMD so AMD looks to be a little bit simpler

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:37.360
okay let's take that out and then let's get down to more accessories here okay

00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:42.480
so we've got a little baggie of this is Intel and it has two screws in it okay

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:47.480
and then the next thing we have is what appears to be AMD mounting clips as well

00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:53.280
as some little like um I don't know I don't know what those

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:55.760
are shaped like but there they are okay

00:02:53.280 --> 00:03:00.440
next we have the cooler itself wow that was pretty straightforward as far as um

00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:04.159
mounting hardware is concerned so somehow they found a way to mount this

00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:09.959
using either two screws or like two little clippy things ah here it is so

00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:15.440
this is the back plate I guess how does this

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:19.120
work well you're smart people I'm sure you can figure it out when you buy it

00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:23.480
and see the instruction manual okay so the actual cooler itself it has a

00:03:21.040 --> 00:03:27.080
plastic shroudy thing on the top and to remove the fan you just squeeze that

00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:31.720
together and pull the fan out why don't we just remove the fan okay so there's

00:03:28.799 --> 00:03:34.680
the fan it's a 12 mm round fan and what's a little bit special about this

00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:40.040
fan that I'm going to point out right off the bat here is the fact that it is

00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:45.200
Round And the fact that at the bottom the frame is actually cut out so you see

00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:48.439
how the frame is thick here but then thin down at the bottom so that's what

00:03:47.239 --> 00:03:54.120
they're talking about when they say you've got pwm cooling because this fan

00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:58.799
will actually it'll blow directed air through the heat sink fins from the

00:03:55.920 --> 00:04:03.720
sides here but then it has no it has no no air Direction

00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:04.959
flow control here so what it does is

00:04:03.720 --> 00:04:08.879
when it spins it'll just kind of randomly blow air out the bottom which

00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:13.040
will keep your voltage Regulators as well as your memory modules anything

00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:16.079
around your CPU socket a lot cooler so that's pretty neat all right so why

00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:20.079
don't we have a look at the cooler itself so like they said they use a twin

00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:26.080
tower design so that means that you're taking advantage not only of the air

00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:28.400
coming out of the fan but also the air

00:04:26.080 --> 00:04:31.960
coming into the fan and while it's not quite as effective as say taking these

00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:36.600
two putting them side by side and throwing two separate fans on it the air

00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:42.600
once it's been through one set of fins is not that hot compared to the actual

00:04:40.919 --> 00:04:46.840
CPU so it's still going to do a fair amount of cooling on the other side now

00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:50.759
on the sides of this heat sink we've got a couple more like plastic shroudy

00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:54.800
things and those uh don't appear to come off okay then if you look down into the

00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:59.199
bottom you can see the mounting system a little bit better I still am not 100%

00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:02.720
clear about how that works but we're seeing the autofocus abilities of this

00:05:01.080 --> 00:05:08.639
life cam pretty well here and it's doing a terrific job actually all right fin

00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:12.280
fin density so here why don't we oh

00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:14.960
let's look through the fins at the

00:05:12.280 --> 00:05:18.880
screen I don't know what that proved but now we've done it okay four heat pipes

00:05:16.840 --> 00:05:23.400
at the bottom these appear to be 6 mm heat pipes they're not particularly

00:05:20.479 --> 00:05:27.680
thick but my experience it comes down to design more than you know marketing

00:05:25.520 --> 00:05:31.479
bullet points so this is an excellent cooler and it does a great job you've

00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:36.039
got the pre-applied MX2 here on the bottom and I think that pretty much

00:05:33.479 --> 00:05:40.600
takes care of everything I wanted to say about the uh the Arctic cooling EXT

00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:44.520
freezer extreme rev 2 thank you for checking out my unboxing and oh yeah we

00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:50.520
should talk about that uh that camera a little bit too let's have a look at the software so this is the Microsoft

00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:55.720
lifecam software you can adjust uh true color settings which are over here uh so

00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:58.600
you can turn that on and off oh that's so that's what happens if I turn off

00:05:57.039 --> 00:06:02.440
true color it becomes a lot harder for it to control the

00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:05.960
well the color and it does a great job actually based on the video we just took

00:06:04.479 --> 00:06:11.680
you can select a bunch of different modes for capturing video where're using

00:06:08.520 --> 00:06:13.440
uh 1280 x 720 HD video capture you can

00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:18.039
adjust your micro microphone volume which I hope is high enough after we've

00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:21.759
done this big long video and uh yeah that's it thank you for checking out my

00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:29.400
unboxing and uh lots more video updates to

00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:29.400
come oh yeah I turn it off fail
